Yes the bolt root is where the bolt handle joins the body. Frankly I may have made that word up but it seems descriptive.Thank you. And thank you for your comments and observations.
Glad to provide photographs. What is the bolt root? It this the bolt handle where it meets the body? Interested in the action or just shots of this area?
On a pre war gun there will be a distinct "step" or "flat" on the bolt root. The post war guns will just go in to the radius of the bolt.
It's just one of the finishing thouchs they skipped on the post war guns. It sure adds class though.
